TharosTheDragon's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Doeoriki]

Wot?

I got first place on my first try! Nice game, been a Doeo fan since it came out.

[Free Will - The Game]

Nice game

I notice some people don't get it. Well the point is that there's no such thing as free will, meaning if you try it all over again you're just gonna do everything exactly the same as you did before. You've died and reset yourself so that you don't remember your mistakes to do things differently.

If you don't like it, you should play You Only Live Once. You'll love that one.

There are other games that record your actions. The Company of Myself, Chrononaut, Rabbit Wants Cake. They all incorporate it as part of the gameplay though.

Hey, do the coins do anything? I'm asking because one of them seemed pretty well hidden. I found 22 in total.

[Town of Fears]

Nice game

"But solving the case of Kraig Rock is only a part of some bigger mystery, detective. Something dark is coming..."

What, that wasn't dark already? I just imprisoned an ancient god of fear that was released from the underworld. What could possibly be bigger than that?

I feel like my accomplishments have been belittled.

avee responds:

Who said there's only one ancient god of feat? :P

[Beast Squad]

Nice work

Love the retro graphics and sound track.

Seems to me that the last world is the easiest and the first world is the hardest.

[Passing the Ball]

Nice

The monsters quickly overran us, impervious to gunfire and explosives. In the end, their only weakness was inflatable dodge balls.

[chestnut avenue 101]

Ah ha!

Truly brilliant puzzles.

I think the complaint that you can't tell what you can click on is unwarranted. Having the cursor change is a hint system that point-and-clicks don't necessarily need. In this game there just aren't that many potential things to click on so it's really no trouble to just try everything.

For the wire puzzle, you need to find the code in two parts. There is a set of symbols that appear in two places, and each symbol corresponds to a color. Look at the picture in the coat pocket to see what color each symbol is. Then look in the mirror to see which color connects to which, but remember that they're in a mirror!

You'll reveal what appears to be half of the box combination, but there's more there than just a letter and a number! There's also a symbol that is unmistakable as a chess piece. This draws attention to the fact that all the available letter-number combinations are coordinates on a chess board. If the indicated chess piece is at the indicated coordinates, what two possible spaces can it move to?

For the connect-the-dots puzzle, there's a pattern on a piece of toilet paper. Start with the dot at the number immediately following the given sequence, then continue the pattern. You'll form a symbol that kind of reminds me of a torch like the one the Statue of Liberty is holding. I have no idea what it's supposed to mean.

Also remember that hairpins make good lock picks and don't forget to check the dirt in the plant's pot.

[The Book of Living Magic]

Spectacular

I love all the Quest for Glory references. I also saw a Monkey Island reference in there.

N'Grass said the broom was size 81 and the stick he gave you was size 79, yet the broom wasn't long enough to reach the button and the stick was. Very strange.

That one short tune that plays during cut scenes is just wonderful. When that one-legged robot was flying on the pegasus it nearly brought tears to my eyes.

[Sketch Quest]

It's a nice game

But it's super laggy, so I stopped during level 2. Maybe the frame rate was too high or maybe the programming just wasn't efficient enough.

I do like how you can kill enemies with hazards.

[Thelemite]

Absolutely amazing

This is probably the fastest Flash game I've ever played, so good job on the programming. It's amazing how much stuff flies around the screen at once.

Upgrading to make yourself super-powerful is way cool. And so is the auto-target system.

And of course, the dialogue is hilarious.

[Fear Is Vigilance]

So sad

If only she was a lesbian.

Anyway, great game. Hope to see more from you.
